Naveen Gangam commented on HIVE-12184:
--------------------------------------
[~pxiong]
The change to the grammer for describe was intentional (see comments in this
jira). The prior syntax was ambiguous and inconsistent with other commands, so
I tried to make it consistent.
Thank you [~leftylev]. I was waiting for the fix to be committed before I made
a change to the documentation. I will do it today.
